Book launch!

"Radical Humanism: The Personal and Social Philosophy of Jim Cairns", by Lev Lafayette, will be held at 6pm Saturday 6th of December at the Moonee Valley Racecourse function room at a special memorial function for Dr. Cairns. An entrance fee includes a copy of the book.

Former Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Trade and Industry, Treaurer, Minister for the Envrionment, Chair of the Vietnam Moratorium movement, founder of Confest and author of 15 books and pamphlets, Dr. Jim Cairns was one of Australia's most well known and respected political and cultural leaders.

This summary of his political and cultural intervention and his radical economic and psychoanalytic theory was written immediately after Dr. Cairns died on October 12, 2003.

It's not too bad ;-)

Now, if only my so-called publisher would return his emails....

Well, it will get done or it won't. Either way I will still look forward to reading it, though for your sake I do hope it gets published

Actually, that's just given me an idea.. I'm going to contact patchworkkid. He writes for Penguin.
